Trauma, Relapse, Redemption: How Candice Found Her Way Back

What happens when the party ends—and the pain begins? Candice Combs' sobriety journey started in a chaotic childhood filled with addiction, trauma, and survival in the streets of New Orleans. After quitting drinking at 23 and finding success in tech, she built a thriving wellness business. But years later, alcohol addiction came roaring back—nearly destroying her life and relationship.
